Friday, APRIL 17

The Moon continues its transit of brilliant Aquarius until 2:30 PM EDT, after which the Moon is in compassionate Pisces. Mercury is heading toward a sextile to Venus, exact very early tomorrow. Mercury will form a sextile with Mars later in the day tomorrow, as Mercury heads toward the midpoint of Venus and Mars. This is a time for a special appreciation and understanding of the arts and attention to creative or romantic communications. We communicate with added warmth and style. We can be quite playful, flirtatious, and/or creative today and tomorrow.

The Mercury-Venus sextile brings compromises, agreements, negotiations, and clarification of feelings to the fore. This transit favors diplomacy, charm, social graces, presentation of ideas, romantic overtures, teaching, business deals, publishing, commerce, public relations, and joint ventures or partnerships. We’re inclined to verbalize or analyze our feelings and relationships.

The void Moon occurs from 10:35 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to the Sun), until the Moon enters Pisces at 2:30 PM EDT.
